I can’t remember all the glorious choral music I’ve sung continuously over the past 32 years in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Chorus (and its predecessor, Melbourne Chorale) but it’s all been composed by these wondrous people and many others.

Can you pick who they are? Some are obvious, some aren't. Mouse over and see.

The repertoire is below.

With the accompanying music set to it by Parry,One of my most favourite poems is...

And did those feet in ancient time (aka Jerusalem)by William Blake

And did those feet in ancient time.Walk upon England's mountains green:And was the Holy Lamb of God,On England's pleasant pastures seen!And did the Countenance Divine,Shine forth upon our clouded hills?And was Jerusalem buildéd here,Among these dark Satanic mills?
